Summary: Honest Good and Bad Review
Review: Ok. I like to talk about the bad before I start with the good since most people only read the first 3 lines or a review.
The Bad: After only using this camera after 3 1/2 weeks, the back LCD went black/white. No picture. Kind of a problem here. I chatted with FujiFilm, and it is a recognized Camera problem. Sent it back, received it back 2 weeks later, and the camera is still broken. Not good. Can have warranty for years, but if they cant fix it, bummer.
The Good: It takes excellent pictures and the compression on Fuji cameras are one of a kind. Meaning, you can usually take more pictures. The built of the camera (other then the LCD) is really tough, even though I tested this (went rock climbing) after I received my camera back and it was still broken.
Extra Notes: The lens, when shutter is open, takes about 3-4 seconds to fully extend when power is on. Something the manual doesn't say.
Now, I have bought another camera, but I keep the Fuji as a outdoor camera (rock climbing and sorts) since the LCD back screen is broken, and sounds like Fuji doesn't have a fix... yet. Other then that, Fuji usually brings out excellent cameras, just this one product isn't well made or there engineers missed something. Don't know. But other then that, I gave it 2 stars because it (the camera) still is useful to me at this time. Hope this helps some people out there.

Summary: Ours was stolen, replaced it with same
Review: Ours was stolen, recently, out of our mini-van, along with a portable DVD player. We just found the same camera on clearance, while doing our after Thanksgiving shopping, and snapped it up! We were never unhappy with the hundreds of pictures we had taken and, though you can now get higher resolution with more megapixels for about the same price we had originally paid, we were always happy with the original, so we stuck with it. The worst part about having the camera stolen was that we had splurged for the 256Mb card, which was expensive, and it did have some not-yet-uploaded pics on it.
You will definitely need a larger memory card, and don't hesitate to get the rechargeable batteries, although this camera is not a battery hog, like some I've seen. Still, if you like to view the just-taken pics using the LCD screen, you'll use up the batteries fairly quickly, and being able to recharge them is great.

Summary: Super Digi Cam!
Review: This is a great little camera. It's small, sturdy and does its job very well. I've had mine for 3 years and it's holding up beautifully. I've never had a single problem with it (occasionally I'll lose a memory card but that's my problem). I think it would be great for someone just starting out in digital photography. It is simple to use (easy to switch modes, photo quality, flash options etc.) and takes a great photo. I couldn't ask for a better little camera. Good invenstment.

Summary: Gem of a buy for a 2 MP camera with great photo quality
Review: Positives - Outstanding photo quality, ease of use, ruggedness (have dropped it a few time), AA battery use (for pete's sake, invest in rechargables...), good software. Negatives - compact - but smaller options available in the market, XD cards cost slightly more than SD or CF cards, flash takes at least 5-7 seconds to recharge (annoying if you want to take another shot quickly...), no TV out capability. Bottom Line - Excellent photo quality. Highly recommended for basic users.

Summary: I'm delighted!
Review: I just got my FinePix 2650 from Amazon yesterday, and I'm delighted. It has far exceeded my expectations. For a budget camera, the photo quality is excellent. This camera is so easy to use that I was taking pictures of my family within about 2 minutes of opening the box. I hadn't even read the manual yet, but everything seemed so intuitive, even for a newbie like me. The pictures were sharp and clear, and my family was thrilled. Apart from the modern styling of the unit, its logical design, its high quality construction and its ease of use, there are two other features that deserve special mention: the 3X optical zoom, and the powerful flash. This unit features a true optical zoom which allows you to capture detail that's just not possible with a digital zoom. Additionally, the powerful flash is good for about 10ft or more in low light conditions, and is more than adequate for your average living room. Transferring images to the PC is so simple, once you're using Windows XP, that I haven't even bothered to use the included software. I just connected the camera to my PC via the USB cable, let Windows install the device, and my photos were downloaded in about a minute. I then used my own graphics software, PaintShop Pro, to edit and print the photos. Although my novice efforts are unlikely to win any artistic awards, I'm more than happy with the results produced. For the price, I think this Fuji is an unbeatable value. I enthusiastically recommend this camera.

Summary: 1 year later
Review: We have had this camera a year now and love it more every day. I too was worried about the 2 mp but you would never know it. It has replaced our $400 35mm and takes as good of shots. Printing has been outstanding up to 8x10. We use Mystic Color Labs to print all of our real photos and have been nothing but pleased. No one ever knows it was a digital camera, even after getting photos from us with the expensive camera. My only advice... Do not get caught up in the pixel game. More rarely means better. Doug

Summary: i'm glad it's discontinued
Review: Got it as a gift for my birthday less than a year ago...had a problem with the lcd screen in january sent it to fuji took about 2 months to get it back from the service department. Worked again for about a month then the usb cable got screwed up and my computer couldn't read the camera b/c the camera's input port was messed up so i bought another one at walmart and took the original one that already had had 2 defects back to walmart in it's place. The button on the one from walmart now turns around past the point where it is supposed to be to take pictures and it is impossible to take pictures with it at all...DO NOT BUY this camera!!!

Summary: Great for a newbie
Review: I am an avid, if novice photographer, and have been putting off buying a digital camera for ages now. I finally couldn't resist any longer, and ended up buying the Fuji 2650, and i have to say it was definitely worth the money. It's easy enough for a beginner to be able to pick up and feel comfortable using it right away. Photo quality so far has been excellent. My one minor complaint, is that the batteries end up dying VERY quickly. But overall, an excellent camera.
